•  TO' .PATRONS  AND  CORRESPONDENTS. 

*   We  aireJunder  many  obligations  for  the  continued  and  increasing  favor  with  which 
our  visit*  me  received.    Nothing  can  so  stimulate  one  to  effort  as  the  consciousness 
that  whayiver  he  iflay  do-will  be  taken  for  what  it  Is  worth,  and  be  appreciated ! 
accordingly. 

"We  «ome  to  you'  skill  in  a  plain  and  unpretending  manner  ;  but  don't  think  any  J 
|the  less  of  us  for  tkat.    We  flatter  ourselves  that  you'll  find  many  a  common-sense 
suggestion  scattered*  through  our  pages.    Some  folks  think  that,  when  a  man  gets 
■fcyontf  hi*  prime,  he*  is  apt  to  fall  behind  the  limes,  and  become  an  old  fogy-,  but! 
•the  man  who  is  always  looking  about  to  see  what  there  is  that 's  new,  and  sifts  the  , 
wheat  from  the  cttntT  for  the  benefit  of  a  million  of  readers,  docs  n't  grow  old  so  fast  j 
ayid  yeu  know  thejChiliese  have  a  saying  that  there  is  a  world  of  wisdom  at  the  root 
•"of  every  jjray  hair. ."  We  always  intend  to  give  many  times  the  value  of  what  you  pay 
for  our  little  anttual  ;  and  if  you  find  it  falls  short  of  that,  just  let  us  know. 

We  owe  our  *icknowkdgment3  for  communications,  answers  to  problems,  etc.,  to 
many  friends  in  all  parts  of  New  England,  and  only  feel  sorry  that  our  limits  do  not 
permit  ms  to  express  o\r  obligations  to  each.    W«  thank  them  all  very  cordially  for  j 
their  numerous  and  welcome  favors,  and  trust  they  will  continue  them. 
L    The  stanzas  at  the  head  of  the  calendar  pages  are  all  selected  from  Longfellow,  ; 
which  is  as  much*  as  to  say  they  are  worth  committing  to  memory. 

We  wish.j'ou  all  a  happy  new  year,  —  requesting  you  to  bear  in  mind  that  commu-

DEFINITIONS.   [Continued  from  latet  year.]  , 
Jclian  Period.  —  A  cycle  of  79S0  consecutive  years,  invented  by  Scaliger.    It  dates 

from  4713  years  B.  C. 
The  Julian  Style  related  to  the  reform  of  the  calendar  introduced  at  Rome  by  Julius 

Caesar,  and  used  in  all  Christian  countries  till  it  was  reformed  by  Pope  Gregory 

XIII.  in  1582. 

The  Julian  Epoch  is  the  commencement  of  the  Julian  calendar,  January  1st,  46 
years  B.  C. 

The  year  adopted  in  the  Julian  calendar,  called  the  Julian  year, — equal  to  365i 
days,  —  was  used  in  England  tUl  1752,  when  the  Gregorian  year,  or  ngw  style,  was 
adopted.  • 

Zodiac.  —  An  imaginary  zone  or  belt  in  the  heVv?ns,  within  which  the  sun  and  all 
the  larger  planets  appear  to  perform  their  annual  revolution* .  It  extends  about 
eight  or  nine  degrees  on  each  side  of  the  ecliptic  ;  contains  twelve  constellations, 
and  is  divided  into  twelve  equal  parts,  called  Signs,  .which  anciehtly  coincided 
with  the  constellations,  but  now  occupy,  veuy  different  positions.  Each  sign  con- 
tains thirty-two  degrees.  The  first  begins  at  the  point  of  the  ecliptic  through 
which  the  sun  passes  at  the  vernal  equinox.  They  are  counted  from  weSt  to  east." 
The  names  in  their  order,  and  the  characters  by  which  they  are  indicated  in  alma- 
nacs, are  given  above,  as  Aries,  &c.  The  signs  derived  their  names  from  the 
twelve  constellations  with  which  their  places  coincided  iifancient  times  (above  200  I 
years  B.  C),  but  owing  to  the  westward  motion  of  the  equinoxes,  th^constellations 
are  now  each  about  thirty  degrees  east  of  the  sign  of  the  same  name.

Has  grown  familiar  with  your  song ; 

I  hear  it  in  the  opening  year, —  »

Now  let  us  sit  down  by  a  crack- 
ling fire,  and  turn  over  a  new 
leaf  in  the  book  of  life.  Ah,  how 
white  and  pure,  like  the  snow- 
covered  ground,  opens  the  page 
we  are  now  to  begin  !  What  a 
contrast  with  that  which  was 
folded  up  yesterday  and  labelled 
"Tin;  past"!  See  the  blanks 
that  can't  be  filled.  They  mark; 
the  omissions.  See  the  blots  thati 
can't  be  rubbed  out.  They  mark 
the  deeds  that  are  done,  and  that 
are  sealed  up  by  the  recording 
angel.  Last  night  the  account 
closed.  It  is  too  late  to  right  its 
wrongs  ;  but  let  the  swift  years 
speed  on.  It  matters  little,  if 
they  teach  us  in  their  flight  how 
to  live  now,  and  how  to  fill  up 
the  bright  pages  that  lie  open 
before  us. 

Some  men  seem  to  get  on  as 
if  success  were  a  matter  of  course 
with  them.  People  call  them 
1 4  lucky ;  "  but  don't  you  see  that 
luck  was  the  result  of  work,  the 
improvement  of  time,  and  the 
application  of  energy?  "God 
helps  those  that  help  themselves 
Take  care  of  the  minutes,  and  the 
hours  will  take  care  of  them- 
selves. Be  honest,  be  industri- 
ous, be  good,  and  you  will  be 
happy,  or,  at  least,  you  ought 
to.  Such  being  the  case,  I  wish 
you  most  cordially  a  happy  new 
year.

From  the  earth's  loosened  mould 

The  sapling  draws  its  sustenance  and  thrives ; 
Though  stricken  to  the  heart  with  winter's  cold, 

The  drooping  tree  survives.

A  place  for  everything,  and 
everything  in  its  place,  will  save 
many  an  hour  of  anxious  and  fret- 
ful search  after  a  lost  farm  tool. 
Have  a  tool-house  by  all  means. 
It  won't  cost  much.  And  when 
you  get  it,  keep  things  where  you 
can  find  tliem.  It  is  n't  enough 
to  keep  them  in  the  tool-house, 
but  they  should  be  in  their  place, 
each  hanging  on  its  own,  or  on 
two  nails  ;  and,  that  you  maybe 
sure  which  it  is,  it  is  a  good  plan, 
after  hanging  up  a  tool,  to  draw 
an  outline  on  the  board  wall  in 
pencil  or  chalk,  and  then  with  a 
brush  and  a  little  paint  mark  out 
a  clear  likeness  of  the  implement. 
Then  you  can  see  at  a  glance 
whether  it  is  in  its  place  or  not. 
Don't  say  this  is  too  much  trou- 
ble, and  it  '11  cost  more  'n  it 
comes  to.  It  is  n't  so.  Once  get 
a  system  started,  and  it  works 
easy  enough.  It  is  the  want  of 
system  that  causes  so  much  trou- 
ble and  loss  of  time. 

Now,  when  a  tool  is  broken, 
and  needs  mending,  here 's  the 
place  to  do  it,  in  the  tool-room. 
Mend  it  yourself,  if  you  can  ;  if 
not,  send  it  to  the  mechanic.  A 
little  paint  now  and  then  will 
keep  wooden  tools  sound,  and  it 
is  good  economy  to  use  the  brush 
freely.  Don't  fail  to  have  all  the 
farming  utensils  ready  for  the 
spring's  work.

Sweet  April !  many  a  thought 

Is  wedded  unto  thee,  as  hearts  are  wed ; 
Nor  shall  they  fail  till,  to  its  autumn  brought, 

Life's  golden  fruit  is  shed.

There  goes  Neighbor  Restless 
over  the  way.  They  say  he  *s 
going  to  build  a  first-rate  house. 
Now,  I  like  to  see  a  man  build 
according  to  his  means,  at  the 
time  he  starts  in  life.  It 's  bet- 
ter than  at  the  end  of  his  career. 
Let  him  build  to  stand  as  long  as 
human  labor  can.  That 's  a  rec-! 
ord  to  his  children  of  what  he  has| 
been,  and  from  what,  perhaps, 
he  has  risen.  Build  to  last,  and 
make  the  homestead  as  lovely  andj 
attractive  as  work  and  means  will 
warrant.  Everything  a  man  does) 
gains  in  honor  and  grace  by  its 
regard  to  the  future.  It  shows 
the  far  sight,  the  earnest  pa-j 
tience,  that  dignify  and  adorn 
the  character.  I  would  n't  build 
merely  for  present  delight  andi 
use.  Let  the  work  riae  so  that 
those  who  are  to  come  after  us 
will  look  with  thankful  hearts  on; 
what  our  hands  have  wrought, 
and  point  to  it  with  proud  satis- 
faction when*the  clustered  mem- 
ories of  the  past  have  sanctified 
it.  "  See  !  what  our  fathers  did 
for  us."  Age  adds  glory  to  the 
homestead  in  the  eyes  of  the  fam- 
ily, and  this  is  reason  enough  for 
building  something  for  all  time. 
Shade  and  ornamental  trees  add 
beauty  to  the  place,  and  have  a 
real  money  value  far  greater  than 
the  few  dollars  they  cost.

Bright  and  joyous  comes  the 
May,  with  its  fragrance  and  its 
flowers,  and  with  it  comes  the 
pressing  work  of  the  spring.  If 
you  look  forward  to  a  rich  har-i 
vest  with  gladness  of  heart,  you 
must  expect  to  work  well  through 
May.  As  you  sow  so  shall  you 
reap.  Better  be  idle  four  days' 
of  winter  than  one  day  of  May. 
Spring  round,  John  !  Up  early, 
and  down  late.  Run  the  plough 
a  little  deeper.  Stick  in  a  seed 
here  and  another  there.  If  the 
crows  pull  up  a  hill  of  corn,  or 
any  seed  tails  to  take,  don't  give 
it  up  so.  It 's  of  no  use  to  wor- 
ry or  fret,  but  just  set  about 
transplanting  from  hills  that  have 
too  many  to  stand  well,  or  put  in 
|a  squash  or  a  few  rutabagas.  By 
the  way,  suppose  the  cows  could 
talk,  and  tell  us  their  tastes,  or 
vote  on  the  question  of  roots  or 
no  roots  in  the  winter  storehouse, 
don't  you  think  they 'd  go  in  for 
a  few  turnips  and  mangel-wurzel, 
or  a  basket  of  svv'edes  row  and 


29,  B.

then  ?  Get  the  votes  ready  and 
try  it.  Bear  in  mind,  always 
the  cleanest  ground  for  roots.: 
You  ought  to  raise  a  few  carrots 
for  horses.  They  do  well  cn  them  \ 
when  not  hard  at  work,  and! 
ought  to  have  a  few  anyhow. 
Sow  them  early  —  the  earlier  the, 
|better  after  the  ground  is  ready.! 
IDon't  let  the  birds  be  killed.

#  #  #  Her  breath  !  't  is  so  like  the  gentle  air  of  Spring, 
As  from  the  morning's  dewy  flowers  it  comes, 
Full  of  their  fragrance,  that  it  is  a  joy 
To  have  it  round  us.

ered with  the  nests  of  caterpillars, 
the  leaves  stripped  of  half  their 
foliage,  and  bearing  the  marks 
of  neglect.  It  was  a  sad  sight 
and,  as  I  looked  upon  one  or- 
chard after  another,  I  said  to  my-

it  wants  is  a  little  time  and  pa 
tience.  So  don't  you  give  it  up 
so,  Robert  B.  Keep  a  talkin

AUGUST  hath  31  days. 


1864. 


Yvrhen  the  bright  sunset  fills 

The  silver  woods  with  light,  the  green  slope  throws 
Its  shadows  in  the  hollows  of  the  hills, 

And  wide  the  upland  glows.

The  first  crop  of  hay  is  se- 
cured, or  ought  to  have  been, 
before  this,  and  there  is  time  to 
breathe  a  little  more  freely.  Har- 
ness up  Old  Billy,  and  let-  us 
take  a  drive.  We  can  learn  a 
good  deal  by  visiting  a  well-con- 
ducted farm.  Nothing  like  ob- 
servation, when  the  farmer  has 
his  eyes  open,  with  a  disposition 
to  copy  or  improve.  Sometimes 
a  failure  is  about  as  instructive 
as  a  success.  Now,  if  neighbor 
Thrifty  manages  better  than  we 
do,  why  not  ride  over  there  and 
see?  It  '11  pay  better  than  any 
day's  work  of  the  week.  I  like 
to  see  a  farmer  looking  round 
now  and  then,  as  well  as  otlierl 
people.  We  do  not,  as  a  general 
thing,  know  as  much  about  what! 
others  are  doing,  in  farm  im- 
provements, in  stock-raising,  in 
sheep-farmirig,  and  in  farm  me-! 
chanics,  or  the  construction  of! 
buildings,  cisterns,  and  other  im- 
proved appliances,  as  we  ought.! 
Many  of  us  know  better  what  is] 
done  at  a  distance,  in  some  other 
state  or  country,  than  the  im- 
provements of  the  neighborhood. 
If  good  farm  stock  of"  any  kind  is! 
brought  within  a  few  miles  of  us,  I 
I  think  we  ought  to  make  it  aj 
point  to  know  and  see  it.  Be 
neighborly  in  fact,  and  not  limit 
the  range  of  your  vision  to  with- 
in a  gun-shot  of  home.

Thy  shield  is  the  red  Harvest  Moon,  suspended 
So  long  beneath  the  heavens'  o'erhanging  eaves 

Thy  steps  are  by  the  farmer's  prayers  attended ; 
Like  flames  upon  an  altar  shine  the  sheaves.

No  month  is  move  beautiful 
than  this.  The  harvest  is  bris- 
tling in  the  field,  the  forests  are 
crimson  and  golden,  teeming  with 
the  most  gorgeous  colors,  the 
bracing  air  gives  its  cheering  vi- 
tality to  all  animated  life,  and  the 
world  abounds  in  the  luxuriance 
of  vegetable  wealth.  If  we  began 
right  in  spring,  we  may  now  look 
upon  the  full  fruition,  the  re- 
ward of  honest  labor.  The  even- 
the  frost 

thickens,  and  whitens  the  ground, 
sparkling  in  the  morning  sun. 
Who  would  not  stir  round  in  a 
bright  October  morning?  And 
when  night  shuts  in,  who  would 
not  ask  himself,  "  What  have  I 
learned  to-day?"  Let  not  the 
eye  and  the  ear  be  opened  in  vain 
to  catch  the  ever  varying  forms 
and  sounds  of  nature  ;  and  if  we 
ask  aright  to  penetrate  her  se- 
crets, we  shall  not  ask  in  vain. 
Some  experiment  begun  in  spring 
will  now  utter  its  teachings ; 
some  idea  will  be  suggested  by 
the  crop  here,  or  the  failure  there. 
Open  the  mind  to  them  all,  and 
do  not  fail  to  leam  even  from  the 
printed  page,  the  exhibition  of 
the  agricultural  society,  or  the 
farm  journal.  You  know  the  old 
saying,  "  Live  and  learn."  It  is 
:umbeViand  never  to°  *ate>  Dut  do  not  trust 
Bat.,  -62.  ( to  the  fickle  future.  Now  is  the 
igh  tides.! time,  and  let  us  improve  it.

Time  to  Cut  Scions.  — "  Grafts"  or  scions  may  be  taken  off  any  time  in  or  after 
November,  till  the  buds  begin  to  swell  in  spring.  Cut  them  from  well  ripened  and 
thrifty  shoots  of  the  last  year's  growth,  and  from  vigorous,  healthy  trees.  If  cut 
previous  to  the  time  of  setting,  they  should  be  kept  in  a  cool,  damp  place. 


ABOUT  ROOTS. 

Tns  root  crop  roquircs  great  labor,  unless  both  tho  ground  an'l  the  Te- 
nure are  very  free  from  weed-6eeds.  But  they  forni  a  most  excellent  and 
important  article  of  feeding  for  itoglt,  especially  as  an  occasional  sbMgt 
from  other  food.  No  farmer,  therefore,  can  atlord  to  neglect  them.  Kut* 
bagas  and  the  English  turnips  are  be.-t  led  out  in  tho  early  part  of  winter. 
The  mangel  wurzel  should  be  kept  till  lator,  say  as  late  as  March,  before 
bving  used. 

I  Kuta  Bagas. —  At  eighteen  inches  apart,  in  drills,  or  in  ridges,  three 
.  quarters  of  a  pound  of  ruta  baga  seed  is  enough  for  an  acre.  About  a 
pound  is  usually  allowed  on  an  average.  Skirving's  King  of  the  Swedes  U 
one  of  the  latest  varietios. 

If  iff  Ml  i  W  ikzkl. — The  varieties  of  mangels  most  cultivated  here  are 
the  Long  Red,  the  Yellow  Globe,  and  the  Long  Yellow.  The  Long  lied  is 
a  very  hardy  root,  and  keeps  well.  It  grows  fast,  and  If  usually  very  pro- 
duetivo.  The  fl«:sh  is  sometimes  marbled  or  mixed,  varying  very  greatly, 
from  almost  uniform  red  to  nearly  white  ;  but  tho  color  doeb  not  affect  tho 
quality  of  tho  root.  The  Yellow  (ilobo  is  about  ten  inches  in  diameter 
when  fully  grow*,  and  often  weighs  from  ten  to  twelve  pounds.  Tho  part 
under  ground  has  a  yellow  skin,  but  above  ground  it  becomes  nearly  brown. 
The  flesh  is  whito,  marked  with  yellow,  fine-grained  and  sweet.  The 
leaves  are  not  very  large,  and  stand  erect.  This  is  one  of  tho  most  pro- 
ductive i  f  all  the  varieties  of  beet,  and  is  very  excellent  for  stock  of  all 
kinds.  It  keeps  sound  and  fresh  late  into  the  spring,  and  does  not  sprout 
as  early  as  many  other  varieties.  It  is  well  adapted  tu  hard  and  shallow 
soils.  Yield  from  thirty  to  forty  tons,  according  to  soil  and  culture.  Sow, 
like  the  long  reds,  in  drills  eighteen  or  twenty  inches  apart,  and  thin  out 
to  ten  inches  in  the  drills.  About  threo  or  four  pounds  of  seed  are  required 
per  acre.  Sow  from  the  l3t  of  May  to  the  1st  of  June.  Early  sowings  are 
most  productive.    It  can  bo  harvested  with  the  common  plough. 

Tno  Long  Yellow  is  a  very  productive  variety.  The  roots  are  not 
smooth,  but  often  forked  into  many  branches.  It  is  excellent  for  dairy 
stock,  giving  a  rich  color  to  tho  milk  produced  from  it. 

The  White  Sugar  Beet  is  a  valuable  variety,  much  grown  in  this  coun- 
try for  feeding  to  stock,  very  good  for  the  table,  and,  when  young,  tender, 
well-flavored  and  sweet.  It  is  cultivated  like  the  Long  Red  Mangel,  that 
is,  sown  from  the  middle  of  April  to  the  last  cf  May,  in  drills  eighteen 
inches  apari,  thinned  to  ten  inches  in  the  drills,  on  deep,  rich,  mellow  land. 


SHEEP  FARMING. 

Xo  branch  of  farming  promises  to  pay  better  for  the  next  ten  years  than 
the  keeping  of  sheep,  if  the  management  is  judicious.  It  will,  of  course, 
require  judgment  on  the  part  of  those  who  engage  in  it  without  previous 

experience. 

What  sheep  shall  we  keep?  Shall  they  be  fine  wool  or  coarse?  Shall 
we  make  wool  the  primary  object,  or  the  raising  of  mutton  and  lamb  for 
the  market  ?  These  questions  will  be  answered  according  to  circumstances. 
If  in  a  hilly  section,  and  with  short  pastures,  remote  from  market,  we  may 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  fine  wool  pays  as  well,  or  better  ;  for  it  costs 
little  to  transport  wool  to  considerable  distances.  Here  wool  will  become 
the  primary  object,  and  the  carcass  secondary.  If  nearer  a  good  market, 
with  pastures  richer,  and  capable  of  carrying  a  large  animal,  long  or  mid- 
dle wools,  or  in  other  words,-  a  mutton  sheep  will  pay  better.  The  west, 
for  instance,  with  its  boundless  prairies,  or  Texas,  with  its  rolling  table 
lands,  can  send  us  wool  at  a  very  trifling  cost  per  pound,  and  we  cannot, 
in  the  long  run,  expect  to  compete  with  them.  But  the  west  can  hardly 
compete  with  the  Xew  England  farmer  in  raising  mutton  and  lamb  to  sup- 
ply our  eastern  markets.  Location,  therefore,  is  suggestive  of  the  course 
we  shall  adopt. 

,    Then,  as  to  the  comparative  merits  of  the  different  classes,  the  coarse  or 


35 


i  middle  wooled  sheep  are  better  adapted  to  beginners,  since  they  are  more 
easily  raited.    They  are  usually  far  better  nurses,  and  the  lambs  are  strong-  ; 
er,  and  can  be  got  ready  for  market,  i  ftcn,  at  three  or  four  months,  to  be  1 
sold  at  a  high  price.    But  it  is  an  art  by  itself,  almost,  to  raise  merino  ' 
lambs  successfully.    If  the  ewe  owns  her  young,  which  she  is  very  likely 
to  refuse  to  do,  ten  chances  to  one  against  her  having  milk  for  it,  particu- 
larly yearlings,  or  ewes  coming  two  years  old.    Besides,  the  larger  sized  , 
sheep  are  less  likely  to  be  unruly,  and  require  less  outlay  for  fencing. 
Both  classes  pay  well,  no  doubt,  under  proper  management. 

Among  the  mutton-producing  sheep,  the  south  downs  rank  very  high, 
and,  for  early  maturity  and  profit,  thej'  are  hard  to  beat.  The  cotswolds 
are  very  large,  and  require  generous  keep  to  bring  them  to  a  high  state  of 
perfection  ;  but  they  are  a  very  useful  breed,  and,  for  their  size  and  the 
high  quality  of  their  mutton,  deservedly  popular.  The  Oxfordshire  downs 
are  not  very  unlike  the  co^wolds.  They  make  an  excellent  cross  with  our 
native  sheep.  Of  the  fi"6  wools,  the  merino  is  unsurpassed.  It  is  a'source 
of  great  profit  to  the  farmers  of  western  Massachusetts,  Vermont  and  New 
Hampshire,  and  there  is  a  large  infusion  of  merino  blood  in  the  flocks  of 
Maine. 

Sheep  require  good  shelter  in  winter  and  careful  feeding.  Root  crops 
constitute  an  important  means  of  keeping  them  in  condition,  particularly 
towards  the  latter  part  of  winter.  Do  not  confine  sheep  to  close  yards  any 
|  longer  than  is  absolutely  necessary.  Do  not  overstock  a  sheep  pasture. 
If  the  ground  is  shaved  bare  it  will  be  injured.  Do  not  let  sheep  run 
down  in  flesh.  No  animal  is  so  bard  to  bring  up  into  thrifty  condition 
again.  Sheep  should  be  in  high  condition  at  the  beginning  of  winter,  and 
kept  up.  If  poor  in  November  and  December,  they  will  remain  poor  the 
best  you  can  do.  Oats  make  lambs  grow  rapidly.  It  is  less  necessary  to 
cut  hay  for  sheep  than  for  most  other  kinds  of  stock.  It  is  important  to 
avoid  a  sudden  and  radical  change  in  the  mode  of  feeding,  as  the  wool  is 
injured  by  it. 


TRANSPLANTING. 

The  question  is  often  asked  whether  spring  or  fall  13  the  best  time  for 
transplanting  trees  and  shrubs.  My  opinion  is  that  the  choice  may  be 
controlled  by  circumstances.  If  trees  are  properly  set  out,  they  are  pretty 
sure  to  live  at  either  season.  The  fall  has  the  advantage  of  being  a  more 
leisure  time.  In  the  spring  everything  is  hurried,  and  the  work  is  too 
apt  to  be  slighted.  The  manner  has  more  to  do  with  the  success  of  trans- 
planting than  the  season  ;  and  the  maxim,  that  what  is  worth  doing  at  all 
is  worth  doing  well,  applies  especially  to  tree  culture. 


INSTITUTE  OF  TECHNOLOGY. 

The  success  of  this  important  institution  is  now  a  fixed  fact.  Through 
the  strenuous  efforts  of  its  president,  Prof.  W.  B.  Rogers,  and  the  liberal- 
ity of  the  State  and  individuals,  the  funds  of  the  Institute  are  ample  for 
I  its*  immediate  wants,  and  measures  are  now  in  progress  to  enlarge  its 
I  sphere  of  action,  by  the  erection  of  a  commodious  building  on  the  Back 
I  Bay  lauds  in  Boston,  in  close  proximity  to  the  new  and  elegant  building 
j  erected  by  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History. 

The  Institute  of  Technology  will  soon  offer  ample  facilities  for  instruc- 
tion in  the  arts  and  sciences,  embracing  the  requisite  appliances  of  muse- 
j  urns  or  collections  designed  to  illustrate  the  practical  arts,  a  school  of 
i  design,  etc.    We  heartily  congratulate  the  people  of  Massachusetts  and 
I  of  New  England  on  the  prospect  of  complete  success,  and  the  promise  of 
great  usefulness  to  the  public  which  the  prosperity  of  this  enterprise  now 
offers.    It  cannot  fail  to  be  useful  to  all  classes  of  the  community,  and 
;  will  receive  a  large  measure  of  public  appreciation.

THE  DOMINICAL  LETTERS, 

AND  HOW  TO  MAKE  SOMETHING  OUT  OF  Til  EM. 
The  Dominical  Letter  for  any  given  year  is  the  letter  usually  placed  in 
our  Almanacs  against  .Sunday,  t  or  thin  purpose  the  first  seven  letters  of 
our  alphabet  are  taken,  and  they  vary  annually  for  a  definite  number  of 
years.  The  reason  of  tins  may  be  shown  in  a  few  words.  A  common  Ore-' 
gorian  year  consist*  of  ^»).')  days.  Now,  if  this  sum  be  divided  by  7,  the 
number  of  days  in  a  week,  tho  quotient  will  be  02  and  1  remainder.  If  I 
there  were  no  remainder,  it  is  obvious,  our  years,  in  regular  succession, 
would  always  commence  on  the  ame  day  of  the  week.  Lut,  since  there  is 
1  remainder,  every  common  year  continences  and  ends  on  the  tsarue  day  of 
tho  week  ;  that  is,  tho  commencement  m{  ever}'  common  year  hj  carried  for- 
ward ono  day  in  tho  weekly  account,  It  is  plain,  therefore,  if  all  years 
'were  common  years,  that  is  years  of  3G5  daj*;  the  6even  letters,  taken  in 
a  retrograde  order,  would  complete  a  circle  in  seven  years,  and  repeat 
I  themselves  perpetually.  But  every  fourth  year,  cA«:pt  the  excluded  een- 
jtismal  years,  is  a  leap  year,  consisting  of  3CG  days.  A  year,  therefore, 
immediately  following  a  leap  year,  comes  in  two  days  late*  in  the  weekly 
account,  and  tho  Dominical  letters  fall  back  two  in  tho  series.  The  order 
of  recurrence  is,  therefore,  interrupted  onco  in  four  years,  and,  neovgsaiily, 
leap  years  have  two  Dominical  letters, —  one  for  January  and  Februa/y,  in 
which  last  month  the  intercalation  takes  place,  and  another  for  tho  remain- 
der of  tho  j-ear.  If,  then,  we  know  tho  Dominical  letter  for  any  given  year, 
we  can  tell  on  what  day  of  the  week  such  year  did  or  will  come  in.  But 
as  there  are  not  always  calendars  or  tables  at  hand  to  show  this,  there 
should  bo  somo  rules  for  determining  the  Dominical  letter  for  all  time,  and 
such  there  are.  Tho  following,  for  the  current  century,  will  be  found  easy 
of  recollection  :  Add  one  fourth  to  tho  given  year,  omitting  fractions,  and 
divide  tho  sum  by  7.  If  nothing  remains,  the  Dominical  letter  is  A.  If 
there  bo  a  remainder,  subtract  it  from  8,  and  the  remainder  will  indicate 
numerically  which  of  the  seven  is  Dominical  letter. 

Exampi^e.  —  Suppose  we  wish  to  determine  the  Dominical  letter  for  18C4. 

1864 

Add  to  the  given  year  one  quarter,  viz.,  466 

Divide  by  7)  23.30  8 

"332  6 
2 

Here,  on  the  division  by  7  there  is  a  remainder  of  6,  which  subtracted 
from  8  leaves  2,  which  2  represents  the  second  letter  in  the  Dominical  al- 
phabet, namely,  B,  and  B  is  the  Dominical  letter  for  1864.  But  this  year 
being  leap  year,  B  applies  only  to  the  months  after  February.  For  Janu- 
ary and  February  the  next  letter,  namely,  C,  is  the  Dominical  letter.  It 
is  not  within  the  scope  of  this  article  to  explain  why  the  last  remainder  is 
subtracted  from  8.  Our  young  readers  will  find  it  a  pleasant  exercise  to 1 
work  out  for  themselves  the  true  solution. 

Having  now  the  means  of  determining  the  Dominical  letter,  it  becomes 
)  easy  to  find  on  what  day  of  the  week  any  month  has  fallen  or  will  fall, 
j  But,  to  avoid  in  part  the  mental  labor,  the  whole  process  has  been  ts&ns- 
ferred  to  tho  fingers,  under  the  name  of 

THE  HAND  ALMANAC. 

Let  it  be  understood  that  the  same  Sunday  letters  invariably  adhere  to 
the  same  days  each  and  all  the  months  respectively.  The  first  day  of  Jan- 
uary is  always  represented  by  A,  the  second  day  by  B,  and  so  on  ;  the  first 
day  of  February  by  D  ;  the  first  day  of  March  by  D,  also  ;  the  first  day 
of  April  by  G  ;  the  first  day  of  May  by  B  ;  the  first  day  of  June  by  E  ; 
the  first  day  of  July  by  G  ;  the  first  day  of  August  by  C  ;  the  first  day  of 
September  by  F  ;  the  first  day  of  October  by  A  ;  the  first  day  of  November 
by  D,  and  the  first  day  of  December  by  F. 

Suppose  twelve  words  so  arranged  that  their  initial  letters  correspond 
with  the  order  of  the  letters  just  named.    The  words  themselves  are  noth- 


87 


ing  ;  their  initial  letters  possess  all  the  importance  they  are  endowed  with. 
They  are  the  following  : 

At  Dover  Dwells  George  Brown,  Esquire, 
Good  Christian  Friend  And  toavid  Friar. 

The  initials  of  these  twelve  words  answer  to  the  Dominical  letters  which 
belong  to  the  first  day  of  each  month,  in  their  order,  beginning  with  Jan.  j 

Now,  suppose  it  were  important  to  ascertain  on  what  day  of  the  week 
the  first  day  of  June  will  fall  in  the  year  1875.  By  the  rule  above  given 
C  will  be  found  to  be  the  Dominical  letter  for  1875.  Count  the  months  off 
on  the  fingers  of  the  left  hand,  calling  the  little  finger  Jan.,  the  next  Feb., 
|  the  next  .March,  the  next  April,  the  thumb  May,  and  then,  returning  to 
the  little  finger,  call  that  June.    Here  stop,  for  June  is  the  month  sought. 

Now  begin  again  at  the  little  finger,  and  say  "  At"  ;  then  pass  to  the 
next,  and  say  "  Dover  "  ;  the  next  call  "  Dwells  "  ;  and  so  on  till  the  little 
finger  i3  reached,  which  will  be  represented  by  "Esquire,"  and  here  stop, 
as  this  little  finger  represents  June,  remembering  that  the  initial  letter  of  i 
Esquire  is  E.  Begin  now  with  Dominical  letter  for  1875,  which  is  C,  and, 
touching  the  little  finger,  call  it  C  ;  call  the  next  finger  D  ;  the  next  E, 
and  here  stop,  for  this  E  corresponds  with  the  E  initial  in  Esquire.  Re- j 
member,  also,  the  finger  on  which  this  E  rests. 

Return  now  to  the  little  finger,  and  call  it  Sunday  ;  pass  to  the  next, 
and  call  it  Monday  ;  the  next  call  Tuosday,  and  here  stop,  for  here  wo

AGRICULTURAL  COLLEGES. 

The  National  Government  has  come  forward  with  the  liberal  proposition 
to  give  each  State  thirty  thousand  acres  for  each  member  of  Congress,  for 
the  purpose  of  enabling  the  States  to  establish  Agricultural  Colleges. 
That  would  give  Massachusetts  three  hundred  and  sixty  thousand  acres, 
which  the  Legislature,  at  the  last  session,  took  measures  to  secure.  An  j 
act  of  incorporation  was  passed,  and  measures  will  be  taken  to  make  the 
public  lands  available  as  soon  as  practicable. 

Much  good  will  no  doubt  result  from  a  well-conducted  Agricultural  Col- 
lege ;  but  we  must  have  patience,  and  not  fix  our  expectations  too  high. 
It  takes  time  to  work  out  great  results,  and  it  would  be  unreasonable  to 
expect  a  revolution  in  our  practical  farming. 


POOD  OF  HORSES. 

The  best  food  for  roadsters  in  this  country  (says  a  recent  report  on  horses 
submitted  to  the  Massachusetts  State  Board  of  Agriculture),  consists  of 
hay,  oats  and  carrots  or  grass,  with  a  moderate  supply  of  water.  The 
quantity  of  hay  depends  upon  the  size  and  work  of  the  horse,  but  there  is 
more  danger  of  giving  too  much  than  too  little.  Erorn  eight  to  ten  pounds 
of  the  best  and  sweetest  hay  is  an  abundant  daily  allowance.  The  oats 
should  bo  of  the  best  qualit}',  the  quantity  varying  from  eight  to  twelve 
quarts  per  day.  One  or  two  quarts  of  corn  meal  will  be  a  valuable  addi- 
tion to  the  daily  food  of  such  horses  as  are  inclined  to  leanness.  Corn 
alone  is  too  heating,  and  produces  more  fat  than  muscle,  and  rye  is  thought 
to  be  very  dangerous  food  for  roadsters,  inducing  a  condition  which  often 
results  in  founder,  especially  of  the  feet.  Four  to  eight  quarts  of  carrots, 
fed  to  a  horse  daily,  improve  the  digestion,  prevent  diseases  of  the  respira- 
tory organs,  etc.  Salt  should  not  be  given  on  the  food,  but  should  be  of- 
fered to  the  horse  once  a  week,  or  a  lump  may  be  kept  in  his  manger. 
They  should  also  be  allowed  access  occasionally  to  chalk,  ashes  or  common 
earth,  which  are  said  to  be  preventives  of  cribbing,  wind-sucking,  etc.

USEFUL  FACTS  AS  TO  WEIGHTS,  MEASURES,  ETC. 

Coal.  —  Coal  put  into  bins  and  levelled  can  be  measured,  from  1  to  1000 
tons,  with  as  much  accuracy  as  it  can  be  weighed  on  scales.  For  instance, 
Lehigh  white-  a-di  coal,  per  ton  of  2000  lbs.,  of  the  egg  or  stove  size,  will 
uniformly*  measure  344  feet  cubical,  while  white  ath  fccbuylkill  coal  will 
measure  35,  and  the  pink,  gray  and  red  ash  will  reach  30  cubic  feet  per 
ton  of  2000  lbs.,  or  40  feet  for  2240  lbs.,  the  difference  of  cubical  con-! 
tents  between  a  net  and  gross  ton  being  exactly  4  feet.  The  length, 
breadth  and  height  of  the  bin  multiplied  together,  and  divided  by  the 
aforenamed  contents  of  a  ton,  must  show  the  number  of  tons  therein. 

Faum  PRODUCE.  —  Rules  of  Measure  practised  and  adopted  by  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  of  Massachusetts.  — "Wheat,  Potatoes,  Sugar  Beets,  j 
Mangel  Wurzel,  Iluta-Bagas,  W  hite  Beans  and  Pease,  10  lbs.  to  the 
bushel  ;  Corn,  Bye,  50  ;  Oats,  32  ;  Barley,  Buckwheat,  48  ;  Cracked 
Corn,  Corn,  Rye  and  other  meal,  except  Oat,  and  English  Turnips,  50  ; 
Parsnips,  45  ;  Carrots,  55  ;  Onions,  52. 

A  Bus  n  el  Measure.  —  The  legal  bushel  of  America  is  the  old  Win- 
chester measure  of  2,150.42  cubic  inches.  The  imperial  bushel  of  Eng- 
land is  2,218.142  cubic  inches  ;  so  that  32  English  bushels  are  about 
equal  to  33  of  ours.  Although  we  are  all  the  tiuic  talking  about  the 
price  of  grain,  etc.,  by  the  bushel,  we  sell  by  weight.  A  hoop  1  Si  inches 
diameter,  8  inches  deep,  holds  a  Winchester  bushel.  A  heaping  Win- 
chester bushel  is  2,747.7  cubic  inches. 

A  Gallon  Measure.  —  An  English  imperial  gallon  is  10  lbs.  of 
distilled  water  at  02 '  Fah.,  when  the  barometer  stands  at  30.  This  is 
277.274  cubic  inches.  The  old  wine  measure  in  use  here  is  231  inches  ; 
and  "beer  measure"  282  inches. 

Land  Measure.  —  An  English  imperial  acre  is  4,840  square  yards,: 
or  100  square  rods.  A  square,  13  rods  upon  each  side,  is  commonly 
Wanted  an  acre  ;  it  is  nine  rods  over  measure.  A  square  acre  is  43,500 
square  feet.  A  square  mile,  or  section,  is  040  square  acres.  The  size  in 
square  yards  of  acres  in  different  countries,  is  as  follows  :  English  acre, 
4,840  square  yards  ;  Scotch,  6,150  ;  Irish,  7,840  ;  Hamburg,  11,545  ; 
Amsterdam,  9,722  ;  Dantzic,  0,050  ;  Franco  (hectare),  11,910  ;  Prus- 
sia (morgen),  3,053.  This  difference  should  be  borne  in  mind  in  read- 
ing of  the  products  per  acre  in  different  countries. 

Board  Measure.  —  Boards  are  sold  by  superficial  measure,  so  much 
per  foot  of  one  inch  or  less  in  thickness,  adding  one-fourth  to  the  price 
for  each  quarter  inch  thickness  over  an  inch. 

Grain  Measure  in  Bulk.  —  Multiply  the  width  and  length  of 
the  pile  together,  and  that  product  by  the  height,  and  divide  by  2,150, 
and  you  have  the  contents  in  bushels.  If  you  wish  the  contents  of  a  pile 
of  ears  of  corn,  or  roots  in  heaped  bushels,  ascertain  the  cubic  inches, 
and  divide  by  2,747.7. 

A  Ton  Weight. — A  ton  is  2000  lbs.  In  most  places,  a  ton  of  hay, 
etc.,  is  2240  lbs.,  and  in  some  places  that  foolish  fashion  still  prevails 
of  weighing  all  bulky  articles  sold  by  the  ton,  by  the  '"  long  weight," 
or  tare  of  12  lbs.  per  cwt.    A  ton  of  round  timber  is  40  eubic  feet  ;  of 

i  square  timber,  54  cubic  feet.  "  A  quarter"  of  corn,  or  other  grain  sold 
by  the  bushel,  is  8  imperial  bushels,  or  a  quarter  of  a  ton.  A  Tun,  of  . 
liquid  measure,  is  252  gallons. 

The  Stone  Weight,  so  often  spoken  of  in  Engli-sh  measure,  is  14  lbs. 
when  weighing  wool,  feathers,  hay,  etc.  ;  but  a  stone  of  beef,  fish,  but- 
ter,  cheese,  etc.,  is  only  8  lbs. 

Hay. — In  England,  a  truss,  when  new,  is  60  lbs.,  or  56  of  old  hay.  A 
truss  of  straw,  40  lbs.  A  load  of  hay  is  36  trusses.  In  this  country,  a 
load  is  just  what  it  may  happen  to  weigh  ;  and  a  ton  of  hay  is  either 
2000  lbs.  or  2240,  according  to  the  custom  of  the  locality.  A  bale  of  j 
hay  is  generally  considered  about  300  lbs.,  but  there  is  no  regularity  in  j 
the  weight..    A  cube  of  a  solid  mow,  10  feet  square,  will  weigh  a  ton.  |

HASTE  NOT ! 
Walter's  journal  in  the  east. 
Without  haste  !  without  rest ! 
Bind  the  motto  to  thy  breast ; 
Biar  it  with  thee  as  a  spell ; 
Storm  or  sunshine,  guard  it  well ! 
Heed  not  flowers  that  round  thee  bloom, 
Bear  it  ouward  to  the  tomb  ! 

naste  not !  let  no  thoughtless  deed 
Mar  for  a3re  the  spirit's  speed  •, 
Ponder  well  and  know  the  right, 
Onward  then  with  all  thy  might : 
Haste  not !  years  can  ne'er  atone 
For  one  reckless  action  done. 

Rest  not !  life  is  sweeping  by ; 

Do  and  dare  before  you  die  ; 

Something  mighty  and  sublime 

Leave  behind  to  conquer  time  ! 

Glorious  'tis  to  live  for  aye 

When  these  forms  have  passed  away  ! 

Haste  not !  rest  not !  calmly  wait ; 
Meekly  bear  the  storms  of  fate  ! 
Duty  be  thy  polar  guide  — 
Do  the  right  whate'er  betide  ! 
Haste  not !  rest  not  !  conflicts  past, 
God  shall  crown  thy  work  at  last. 


RESPECT  FOR  AGE  — MANNERS. 
dkwby's  old  world  and  kew. 

Heaven  avert  that  the  rising  generation 
among  us  should  lose  that  most  beautiful 
trait  of  youth,  modesty,  deference,  respect 
for  age,  respect  for  superiors !  Let  the 
manners  of  a  nation  want  this  —  let  a  peo- 
ple become  ill-bred,  coarse  and  vulgar  — 
let  especially  the  youth  of  a  country  be 
growing  more  forward  and  presumptuous, 
and  let  there  be  no  sense,  or  refinement, 
or  moral  sensibility  sufficient  to  put  a 
check  upon  it ;  and  vainly  would  such  a 
nation  claim  our  respect,  though  the  sound 
of  liberty  were  in  every  breeze,  and  parch- 
ment constitutions  were  piled  to  every 
roof-tree. 


LACONIC  SWORD  PRESENTATION. 
The  New  Alban}-  (Ind.)  Ledger  states 
that  a  rather  laconic  sword  presentation 
took  place  at  Camp  Noble  a  while  since. 
A  member  of  the  66th  Regiment  purchased 
a  sword  for  Captaia  Gerard,  and  Capt.  J. 
H.  Fawcett  was  deputed  to  present  it. 
This  the  captain  did,  as  follows  :  "Here, 
John,  is  a  sword."  Capt.  Gerard  took  it, 
and  replied  :  "  Thank  you ;  I  Ml  see  you 
again  about  it  after  I  have  tried  it."  The 
presentation  and  reply  were  both  to  the 
point.   «  

THE  NEWSPAPER. 
J.  V.,  IX  CHRISTIAN  register. 
In  this  one  sheet  how  much  for  thought 
profound, 

How  much  for  feeling  deep  doth  meet 
the  eye  ! 

Here  man's  decease,  here  empire's  fate  is 
found, 

And  yet  with  careless  glance  we  pass 
them  by ! 

Perchance  upon  one  page  enough  we  find 
On  which  through  a  long  life  we  well 
might  muse  j 
But  oft  with  husks  we  fill  the  hungry  mind, 
When  men  the  gifts  of  speech  and  thought 
abuse. 

Not  in  the  many  words,  or  books  we  read 
Is  knowledge  gained  of  Nature,  or  of 
man  : 

Oft  in  a  single  word  lies  wrapt  the  seed 
,    Of  changes  vast,  would  we  its  meaning 
scan  ; 

But  lacking  still  the  wisdom  to  be  wise, 
The  Truth  we  seek  is  hidden  from  our  eyes. 


THANKSGIVING  -  PUMPKIN  PIE. 

J.  G.  WHITTIER. 

Ah  !  —  on  Thanksgiving  Day,  when  from 
East  and  from  West, 

From  North  and  from  South,  come  the  pil- 
grim and  guest, 
'  When  the  gray-haired  New  Englander  sees 

round  his  board 
(The  old  broken  links  of  affection  restored, 

When  the  care-wearied  man  seeks  his 
mother  once  more, 

And  the  worn  matron  smiles  where  the 
girl  smiled  before  ; 

What  moistens  the  lip,  and  what  brightens 
the  eye, 

What  calls  back  the  past  like  the  rich 
Pumpkin  Pie  ? 


HERE,  GIRLS,  READ  THIS  ! 
Girls  must  think  and  talk  less  of  matri- 
mony. If  they  will  look  upon  marriage  as 
the  height  of  worldly  aspiration,  as  the 
gmnd  source  of  earthly  happiness,  we  can 
tell  them  of  a  better  way  to  reach  that  goal 
than  by  frequent  discussions  of  the  theme. 
Let  them  seem,  by  assiduously  cultivating 
the  graces  of  life,  by  attention  to  the  needs, 
tastes  and  happiness  of  their  associates,  to 
forget  their  own  personality.  Let  them 
cultivate  cheerfulness,  physical  health,  in- 
dustry, and  the  Christian  graces  springing 
from  conscientious  devotion  to  duty,  and 
they  are  sure  to  become  the  objects  of  that 
solid  admiration  which  recommends  them 
for  wives  and  mothers.

The  brave  poor  soldier  ne'er  despise, 
Nor  count  him  as  a  stranger  ;

Many  friends  are  lost  by  iH-timed  jests.  I    In  day  and  hour  of  danger.

TI1E  AMERICAN  FLAG. 

The  American  flag  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  that  flouts  upon  any  land  or  sea. 
lis  proportions  are  perfect  when  it  is  prop- 
erly made  —  one  half  ;ia  broad  as  it  is  long. 
The  first  stripe  at  the  top  is  red,  the  next 
white,  and  these  colors  alternate,  making 
the  last  stripe  red.  The  blue  field  for  the 
stars  is  the  width  and  square  of  the  first 
seven  stripes,  viz.,  four  red  and  three 
white.  The  colors  of  the  American  flag 
are  In  beautiful  relief,  and  it  is  altogether 
a  beautiful  national  emblem.  Long  may  ! 
it  wave  untarnished  !  He  who  would 
erase  one  stripe,  or  dim  one  star  upon  it,  ; 
"arts  a  traitor's  part,  and  deserves  a 
traitor's  doom." 


GENTLEMANLY  LADIES. 

ALBANY  ARGUS. 

In  a  railroad  car  the  seats  were  all  full 

except  one  which  w;is  occupied  by  a  pleas- 
ant-looking Irishman,  and  at  one  of  the 
?tati  his  a  couple  of  evidently  well-bred 
und  intelligent  young  ladies  came  in  to 
procure  seats.  Seeing  none  vacant,  they 
were  about  to  go  into  the  back  car,  when 
Patrick  arose  hastily  and  offered  them  his 
6eat  with  evident  pleasure.  "But  you 
will  have  no  seal  for  yourself,"  responded 
one  of  the  young  ladies  with  a  smile,  hes- 
tating  with  true  politeness  to  accept  it. 
"  Never  you  mind  that !  "  said  the  gallant 
Hibernian,  "  ye'r  welcome  to  it.  I'd  ride 
upon  the  cow-catcher  to  New  York,  any 
time,  f  »r  a  smfle  from  such  jintlrmanty

GOD  SPEED  THE  PLOUGH. 
God  speed  the  ploughshare  !  tell  me  not 

Disgrace  attends  the  toil 
Of  those  who  plough  tho  dark-green  sod, 

Or  till  the  fruitful  soil. 
Why  should  the  honest  ploughman  shrink 

From  mingling  in  the  van 
Of  learning  and  of  wisdom,  since 

'T  is  mind  that  makes  the  man  ? 

God  speed  the  ploughshare  !  and  the  hands 

That  till  the  fruitful  earth  !  # 
For  there  is  in  this  world  so  wide 

No  gem  like  honest  worth  ; 
And  though  the  hands  are  dark  with  toil, 

And  flushed  the  manly  brow, 
It  matters  not,  for  God  will  bleBS 

The  labors  of  the  plough.

PROBLEM  V. 
Five  persons  have  lost,  together,  $40.62*. 
The  loss  of  B  is  50  cents  more  than  three 
times  that  of  A  ;  the  loss  of  C  $2  less  than 
double  the  loss  of  B  ;  D  has  lost  25  cents 
less  than  A  and  B  together,  and  E  twice  as 
much  as  B,  less  12£  Cci^ts.  How  much  did 
each  lose  ? 

PROBLEM  W. 
A  man  has  a  ot  rt;;  in  number  of  hoes, 
twice  as  many  l  imbs  as  hogs,  and  three 
times  as  many  sheep  as  lambs.  Take  i  of 
the  number  of  hogs,  and  ^  of  the  number 
of  lambs  for  a  multiplier,  i  of  the  number 
of  lambs  and  1-6  of  the  number  of  sheep 
for  a  multiplicand,  and  the  product  will  be 
7128.  Add  the  multiplier  and  the  multi- 
plicand together,  and  the  sum  will  be  174. 
How  many  are  there  of  each  ?

The  Railways  op  the  World.  —  It  is  estimated  that  there  were,  in  1862,  com-  i 
pleted  and  in  operation  throughout  the  workl  70,000  miles  of  railway,  which  cost  the 
sura  of  $5,850,000,000.  The  extent  of  railway  known  to  be  in  operation,  from  actual 
returns,  according  to  the  London  Engineer,  is  as  follows:

It  will  be  seen  that  the  United  States  possess  the  most  extensive  system  of  railways 
of  any  country  in  the  world.  This  method  of  intercommunication  has  been  developed 
with  extraordinary  rapidity  in  the  United  States,  and  although  temporarily  checked 
by  tha  civil  war,  will,  when  the  rebellion  is  crushed,  be  even  more  rapidly  extended 
than  in  the  past.

10  cts.;  three  times,  15  cts.;  six  times,  30  cts.;  seven  times,  35  cts.,  and  so  on,  adding 
one  rate  for  each  issue  more  than  once  per  week,  to  be  prepaid  l.r  not  less  than  three 
months  n  ir  more  than  a  year,  at  the  office  of  reception.  Publishers  of  weekly  news- 
papers may  send  within  their  county  free.  On  magazines  issued  less  often  than  once 
a  week,  one  cent  for  four  ounces  to  regular  subscribers.  Special  bargains  may  be 
made  by  the  Postmaster  General  for  transporting  packages  of  newspapers,  kc.  Pub- 
lishers must  be  notified  when  papers  are  not  taken  out  for  one  month,  which  notice 
may  be  sent  free.  Bills  and  Receipts  for  subscriptions  may  be  enclosed  in  papers 
and  go  free  ;  any  other  written  enclosure  imposes  letter  postage.  Publishers  may 
exchange  papers  free,  not  exceeding  sixteen  ounces  in  weight. 

Maximum  Weight  —  Books.  —  The  maximum  weight  for  single  postage 
on  pcinted  matter  is  four  ounces,  and  the  same  for  miscellaneous  or  third  class  matter  ; 
I  and  the  postage  on  such  is  two  cents,  always  prepaid  by  stamps.  Double  these  rates  for 
books.  Three  unsealed  circulars,  two  cents  ;  two  cents  for  each  additional  three,

be  designated  by  the  Postxaster  General,  senators  and  representatives,  secretary  of 
senate  and  clerk  of  house  —  but  this  only  to  cover  matter  sent  to  them,  and  that  dis- 
patched in  the  way  of  business,  except  documents  issued  by  Congress.    Doctmex ts  !  (j

package,  save  Congress  books,  kc. 

Registry  System.  —  This  remains  as  worthless  as  ever.  The  government  will  £ 
take  any  sum,  not  more  than  twenty  cents,  for  registering  a  letter,  but  will  be  in  no  j  | 
way  responsible^for  loss  or  miscarriage. 

The  business  of  local  delivery  and  collection  of  letters  is  to  be  regulated  by  the  Post-  j  | 
naster  General  ;  but  carriers  are  to  be  paid  a  salary  and  give  bonds.    The  Postmaster  ;  I 
General  may  establish  branch  post-offices  and  letter-boxes  in  cities  ;  all  accounts  for  j  I 
bcal  business  to  be  kept  separate.    Contracts  maybe  made  with  publishers  for  de- !  1

I  age  weighing  over  four  pounds  shall  go  through  the  mail,  except  books  circulated] 
by  order  of  Congress.    Postage  must  be  prepaid  by  stamps  on  domestic  letters,  j 
J  whether  fir  mail  or  local  delivery,  on  transient  printed  matter,  and  everything  else,  |

NEW  ENGLAND  AND  NEW  ENGLANDERS. 

Washington's  Opinion  of  New  England  Soldiers.  —  At  the  present  time,  when 
so  much  discussion  is  going  on  as  to  the  relative  merits  of  the  Northern  and  Southern 
soldiery,  as  well  as  of  those  from  the  different  sections  of  the  North,  we  have  thought 
that  it  might  be  of  some  interest  to  our  readers  to  learn  the  estimate  in  which  the 
troops  of  New  England  were  held  by  the  Father  of  his  Country.  For  this  reason  we 
have  copied  the  following  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  Gen.  Washington  to  Mr. 
Lund  Washington,  dated  New  York,  July  22,  1776: 

We  have  lately  had  a  general  review,  and  I  have  much  pleasure  in  informing  you 
that  we  made  a  better  appearance,  and  went  through  our  exercises  more  like  soldiers, 
than  I  had  expected.  The  Southern  States  are  rash  and  blamable  in  the  judgment 
they  generally  form  of  their  brethren  of  the  four  New  England  States.  I  do  assure 
you,  with  all  my  partiality  for  my  own  countrymen,  and  prejudice  against  them,  I 
cannot  but  consider  them  the  flower  of  the  American  Army.  They  are  a  strong, 
vigorous,  and  hardy  people,  inured  to  labor  and  toil,  which  our  people  seldom  are. 
And  though  our  hot  and  eager  spirits  may,  perhaps,  suit  better  in  a  sudden  and  des- 
p?rate  enterprise,  yet,  in  the  way  in  which  wars  are  now  carried  on,  you  must  look 
for  permanent  advantages  only  from  that  patient  and  persevering  temper  which  is 
the  result  of  a  life  of  labor.  The  New  Englanders  are  cool,  considerate  and  sensible, 
whilst  we  are  all  fire  and  fury.  Like  their  climate,  they  maintain  an  equal  tempera- 
tare,  whereas  we  cannot  shine  but  we  burn.  They  have  a  uniformity  and  stability  ] 
of  character,  to  which  the  people  of  no  other  States  have  any  pretensions  ;  hence  they 
must  and  will  always  preserve  their  influence  in  this  great  empire. 

u  Were  it  not  for  the  drawbacks  which  the  influence  of  their  popular  opinions  on 
the  subject  of  government  have  on  their  army,  they  soon  might,  and  probably  would, 
give  law  to  it." 

A  more  keenly  perceptive  and  truthful  comparison  of  Northern  and  Southern  char- 
acter never  was  drawn,  and  it  is  a  comparison  which  holds  good  to  this  day. 


New  England  Then  and  Now.  —  Those  at  the  North  who,  in  obedience  to  the 
suggestion  of  Gen.  Beauregard,  cry  out  against  the  "abolitionists"  of  Massachusetts 
and  the  other  New  England  States,  conceal  the  fact  that  those  States  have  furnished 
most  readily  more  than  their  full  quota  of  soldiers  in  this  war. 

The  men  of  New  England  were  the  first  to  rush  to  the  defence  of  the  capital  when 
it  was  threatened  by  rebels  and  traitors.  They  are  true  to  their  traditions,  for  they 
were  foremost,  too,  in  that  war  which  gained  our  liberties  and  Union.  Those  who 
sneer  nt  New  England  will  do  well  to  look  a  little  at  her  record  in  the  Revolutionary 
war.  The  whole  number  of  men  enlisted  in  the  Continental  service,  from  the  begin- 
ning to  the  close  of  that  war,  was  231,959.  Of  these,  Lorenzo  Sabine  says,  in  the  his- 
torical essay  prefixed  to  his  "American  Loyalists,"  that  67,907  were  from  Massachu- 
setts ;  and  all  the  States  south  of  Pennsylvania  provided  but  59,493,  or  8414  less  than 
the  gallant  Bay  State  alone.  New  England  equipped  and  maintained  118,350  men  — 
more  than  one-half  the  total  number  placed  at  the  service  of  Congress  during  the  war. 
The  great  State  of  Virginia  sent  to  the  war  but  752  more  men  than  little  Rhode  Isl- 
and ;  she  sent  "  only  a  fifth  of  the  number  contributed  by  Connecticut ;  only  one 
half  as  many  as  New  Hampshire,  then  an  almost  unbroken  wilderness." 


Leaving  New  England  Oct. The  Chicago  Times  having  proposed  to  enter 
upon  the  discussion  of  the  question  whether  it  would  not  be  best  to  have  a  Union 
leaving  New  England  out,  the  Louisville  Journal  asks:  "Wouldn't  that  question 
have  been  an  interesting  one  in  the  Revolutionary  war  ?  How  would  the  proposition 
have  sounded  to  exclude  New  England  privateers  and  New  England  sailors  and  New 
England  soldiers  from  the  last  war  with  Great  Britain  ?  " 


The  Repkeskntation  of  New  England  in  the  Senate.  —  It  is  not  true  that  the 
six  New  England  States  have  been  especially  favored  in  Senatorial  representation. 
True  they  are  small  in  territorial  area,  but  they  average  a  much  larger  population 
than  the  eleven  Confederate  States.  By  the  census  of  I860,  the  combined  white  pop- 
ulation of  the  former  was  3,110,692,  averaging  518,448  to  each  State  while  the  com- 
bined white  population  of  the  latter,  including  Virginia  undivided,  was  4,449,463, 
averaging  only  404,436  to  each  State.  Yet  the  former  had  12  Senators  at  Washing-] 
ton,  the  latter  22.  Rhode  Island,  the  smallest  of  the  New  England  States  in  popula-  j 
tion,  showed  more  than  twice  the  white  population  of  Florida  ;  Vermont,  the  next 
smallest,  23,000  more  than  South  Carolina ;  and  Massachusetts,  the  largest,  showed 
164,000  more  than  Virginia,  the  largest  Southern  State,  and  88,000  more  than  Missis-] 
sippi,  Louisiana  and  Texas  combined.  In  the  face  of  such  figures,  the  pretence,  by 
Southern  men  and  Southern  sympathizers,  that  New  England  has  an  undue  advan- 
tage in  the  Senate,  is  the  extreme  of  absurdity.  New*England  actually  sustains  as 
much  disadvantage,  relatively  to  the  Southern  States,  from  the  State  equality  repre- 
sentation in  the  Senate,  as  from  the  three-fifths  slave  representation  in  the  House  and 
Electoral  College.

THE  BEST  DICTIONARY 

OF  TBS 

ENGLISH  LAIGUAGE . 


1,854  Royal  Quarto  Pages. 

1,000  Superb  Wood-Cut  Illustrations. 
20,000  New  Words  and  Definitions. 

1,100  Excellent  Articles  on  Synonymes. 

Worcester's  Quarto  Dictionary  has,  from  its  first  publication, 
been  steadily  gaining  in  public  favor.  It  is  the  standard  Dictionary 
among  scholars  and  literary  men,  and  among  all  those  who  use  the 
English  language  with  even  a  moderate  degree  of  attention  to  its  pu- 
rity. Dr.  Worcester  has  kept  firmly  and  steadily  to  the  lexicographer's 
true  path,  remembering  that  his  chief  duty  is  to  record  accurately  and 
honestly  the  result  of  his  researches. 

Those  competent  to  judge  say  that  the 

are  more  thorough,  scholarly,  terse,  and  simple  than  those  given  in 
any  other  Dictionary. 

The  following  is  from  the  distinguished  American  philologist  and 
writer  upon  the  English  language,  who,  by  the  extent  of  his  learning, 
is  probably  better  qualified  than  any  other  man  in  America  to  judge 
of  the  merits  of  an  English  Dictionary. 

From  Hon.  George  P.  Marsh,  LL.  D. 
"The  principal  points  to  be  aimed  at  in  a  hand-dictionary  are  — 
accuracy  in  orthography  and  orthoepy  —  the  written  and  spoken  forms 
of  words  ;  precision  and  distinctness  in  definition  ;  fulness  in  vocabu- 
lary ;  and  truth  in  historical  etymology.

11  The  work  of  Dr.  Worcester  is  unquestionably  much  superior  to 
any  other  general  Dictionary  of  the  language  in  every  one  of  these 
particulars." 

The  following  is  from  the  author  of  the  most  complete  Anglo-Sax^ 
Dictionary  published.    As  Anglo-Saxon  forms  the  foundation  of  ijj 
English  language,  Dr.  Bosworth  may  be  considered  a  most  competent  y" 
authority. 

From  Uev.  Joseph  Bosworth,  D.D.,  F.R.S.,  Professor  of  Anglo-Saxon  irt. >. 
Oxford  University,  Eng. 

■  M  Tho  wholo  work  is  the  most  comprehensive  and  useful  that  I  hare} 
:yet  seen.  It  is  the  most  complete  and  practical,  the  very  best,  as  well 
as  the  cheapest,  English  Dictionary  that  I  know." 

From  C.  C.  FELTOX,  LL.  D.,  late  President  of  Harvard  College. 

"  I  find  it  not  only  rich  beyond  example  in  its  vocabulary,  but  care- 
fully elaborated  in  all  its  details,  and  thoroughly  trustworthy  as  a 
guide  to  the  most  correct  and  elegant  usage  of  the  language." 

From  Herbert  Coleridge,  Ser'y  of  the  London  Philological  Sac,  London. 

M  As  a  work  of  practical  utility,  your  book  appears  to  me  to  be  nearly 
perfect,  and  1  expect  to  derive  immense  assistance  from  it." 

THE  ORTIIOGnAPHY 

of  Worcester's  Dictionary  is  in  accordance  with  the  best  usage.  A 
vast  majority  of  the  standard  works  published  in  this  country  carefully 
follow  Worcester  as  authority.  As  an  example,  in  the  new  American' 
Cyclopaedia,  the  most  important  work  published  by  Appleton  &  Co., 
publishers  of  Webster's  Spelling-Book,  the  spelling  of  Worcester's  Dic- 
tionary is  adopted.  In  fact,  we  believe  that  there  is  not  an  author,  | 
either  in  this  country  or  in  England,  having  any  claim  to  literary 
eminence,  who  has  adopted  Webster's  orthography  in  any  ef  his.pub- 
lished  works.  Bryant,  Bancroft,  Hawthorne,  Longfellow,  Holmes,' 
Everett,  Emerson,  Ticknor,  Motley,  follow  Worcester.  So  did  Pres- 
cott,  Cooper,  Fclton,  Mann,  Daniel  Webster. 

Probably  no  preceding  lexicographer  has  paid  so  careful  attention 
as  Dr.  Worcester  to  the  subject  of 

He  not  only  gives  the  learner  his  own  pronunciation,  but  exhibits, 
at  one  view,  the  modes  in  which  the  word  is  pronounced  by  Smart, 
Sheridan,  Walker,  Perry,  Jones.  Enfield,  Fulton  and  Knight,  Jame- 
son, Wright,  Knowles,  Reid,  and  other  English  authorities. 

Deep  research  has  been  given  to  the  subject  of 

ETYMOLOGY; 

and  in  words  of  disputed  origin  the  opinions  of  the  most  eminent  phi- 
lologists are  given.

THE  SIXTH  EEADEE. 

The  main  object  of  all  reading-books  is  to  teach  the  art  of  reading.  With  this  view,  a  wide 
range  of  selections  has  been  made  in  this  Reader,  so  that  the  pupils  using  it  may  be  trained  to 
give  proper  force  and  due  expression  to  every  form  of  style,  whether  grave  or  gay,  humorous  or 
pathetic,  elevated  or  familiar,  declamatory  or  simple. 

Biographical,  Critical,  and  Explanatory  notices  are  prefixed  to  most  of  the  selections.  They 
have  been  carefully  prepared  by  Mr.  Hillard,  and  are  a  valuable  feature  of  the  book. 

The  Introductory  Treatise  on  Elocution,  prepared  by  Professor  Mark  Bailey,  of  Yale  College,  is 
a  plain,  practical,  and  useful  treatise  upon  this  difficult  art,  and  cannot  fail  to  be  highly  approved.

The  same  care  has  been  taken  in  the  selection  of  a  variety  of  entertaining  and  choice  pieces  for 
the  Fifth  Reader  as  for  the  Sixth.  Many  excellent  declamatory  pieces  are  given.  The  difficult 
words  in  each  lesson  are  defined,  and  numerous  careful  biographical  sketches  and  critical  notes 
are  found  throughout  the  book.  The  Treatise  upon  Elocution  ia  the  work  of  Professor  Bailey,  of 
Yale  College,  and  is  easily  understood  and  practical. 

THE  INTERMEDIATE  READER.  (Illustrated.) 

This  Reader  is  designed  for  large  towns  and  cities,  where  the  grading  of  the  schools  may  re- 
quire an  additional  book. 

THE  FOURTH  READER.  (Illustrated.) 

Thi3  reading-book  is  intended  for  the  lower  classes  of  our  Grammar  Schools,  and  the  same 
general  features  are  preserved  in  it  as  are  found  in  the  other  books  of  the  series.  The  Introduc- 
tory Treatises  in  the  Fourth  and  Intermediate  Readers  on  Articulation  and  the  Training  of  the 
Tocal  Organs  will  be  found  to  be  valuable  helps.  Spelling  and  Defining  Lessons  are  attached  to 
each  lesson  in  the  Fourth  and  Intermediate  Readers.    They  have  been  carefully  prepared. 

THE  THIRD  PRIMARY  READER. 

THE  SECOND  PRIMARY"  READER. 

THE  FIRST  PRIMARY  READER. 

The  Primary  Readers  were  chiefly  prepared  by  a  gentleman  long  engaged  in  teaching,  aud  of 
much  practical  experience  in  all  that  relates  to  education,  but  under  Mr.  Hillard's  direct  and 
careful  supervision.  They  contain  lessons  in  Enunciation,  with  brief  directions  to  teachers,  and 
•elections  in  verae  and  prose  for  reading  lessons.  The  Exercises  in  Enunciation  are  such  as  can 
easily  be  used  by  young  children,  with  the  aid  of  the  teacher. 

These  books  are  beautifully  illustrated  with  original  designs  by  Billikgs,  engraved  by  Jobs 
Andrew.    The  sale  of  nearly 

300,000  of  tiio  ZE*x*ixsa.«,273r  ^=2Lo^c3.ox~(S, 

sine;  their  publication  a  few  years  tince,  is  an  evidence  of  their  popularity. 

In  the  Fourth,  Intermediate,  Fifth,  and  Sixth  Reader*,  a  few  of  the  most  approved  selections 
in  the  compiler's  f  >niur  series  ure  reproduced  ;  but  the  selections  for  the  most  part  are  derived 
jjrom  other  sources,  an !  ih  :  examination  of  English  literature  lias  been  very  extensive  to  find  a 
variety  of  pi-cea  of  i;i:ri:i>::  worth  and  permanent  merit. 

Great  care  has  Wn  taken  that  the  different  numbers  cf  the  New  Srries  should  be  carefilly 
6HADUATe.il  to  the  capacity  of  the  classes  for  which  they  are  desijjne  1. 

School  Olficers  and  Teaehtra  are  invited  to  address  the  publishers.
